DDoS Attacks - Need help!

[Saurav]

My site www.rapidlinks.co.uk was on shared hosting, it was fine, VPS, it was fine. 5 days ago I moved to a dedicated server, and since yesterday I have been facing large ddos attacks.

Is there any way to stop these? I am paying more for the dedicated now and experiencing more downtime
I think they keep changing the IP's so IP banning doesn't help.

You could contact your Dedi server provider and pay them to install a hardware firewall

I bought it with WrzHOST (HostFresh) and tippie said yesterday they are usually very expensive?

How much do they cost?

You cannot do anything, unless you can contact your host as whoo said. When you contact them be prepared to pay 200-300+ a month for anti ddos hardware. There are no software firewalls that can stop any True DDOS attacks. so if some one tries to tell you so, its BS.

But they will charge you

Try googling for some tools...

Ignore me then

It all depends who's ddosing you..with what...and what method. it all matters, you did have to talk to your hosting provider.
There are some tools that can stop low threat ddos attacks but they will block legitimate traffic as well.

You do have to understand Anti ddos hardware COST a lot, and at a point they will give out if the DDOS attack is strong enough.
